To provide a method for fabricating an artificial skin for use with a robotic assembly or the like.
A method includes providing a mold assembly with an exterior mold and an interior core. A cavity is defined between inner surfaces of the exterior mold and exterior surfaces of the interior core, thereby defining the shape and thickness of an artificial skin. The surface of the interior core includes offsets or standoffs extending outward from the interior core surface. The method further includes positioning a sheet of reinforcement material to the surface such that the sheet contacts the offsets. The method includes pouring material for the skin system into the mold to occupy the cavity between the exterior mold and the interior core. The method includes disassembling the mold assembly and removing the artificial skin with the sheet of reinforcement material embedded within the skin at an offset distance from a surface of the artificial skin.
